Non-vintage Champagne, you may remember, is produced by blending base wines from a number of different vintages. Producers do this in order to achieve a consistent house style from one year to the next. The climate in Champagne is lousy and vintage variation is huge, so this is generally impossible to do with the wine from one single year.<\/span><\/p>\n Bollinger Special Cuv\u00e9e is one of the most iconic non-vintage <\/span>Champagne labels<\/b><\/a>, alongside other top wines like <\/span>Louis Roederer Brut Premier<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Mo\u00ebt & Chandon Brut Imp\u00e9rial<\/b><\/a> and <\/span>Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label<\/b><\/a>.
